On 1 July, a decree was published in Italy’s Official Gazette making aid available for works that contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation – by promoting sustainable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable land use – and that reduce the production costs borne by undertakings (“Measure”).

The Measure represents a marked change of direction for the development of photovoltaics in the agricultural sector, by making non-repayable grants available to carry out projects that envisage the purchase and subsequent installation of photovoltaic panels on roofs/coverings of buildings or production facilities that are useful for beneficiaries’ businesses.
What conditions must be met to receive aid under the Measure?

And what restrictions does the Measure entail, including with regard to other forms of aid?
